(1) The Authority may establish a centralized master database that is designed to be used for managing the assignment of numbers in a multi-carrier environment and to ensure adequate record-keeping of the national numbering resource. In developing the database, the Authority may specify its function and requirements, including: (a) Storage and memory capacity (b) Hardware and software (c) Security parameters and remote accessibility (d) Standards and compatibility (e) Flexibility, scalability and fault tolerance ( f ) Data fields and records to be kept (8) Report extracts and statistical evaluation (h) Future requirements

5.2.2 Actual number assignment


The actual assignment of various types of numbers is conducted by application of the numbering conventions in SECTION 5.3 of this regulation, using the central number database. To implement the regulations, the development of special software may be required.

5.2.3 Monitoring the usage of assigned numbers

The status of number usage shall be recorded in detail and statistically evaluated. The evaluation may indicate who is using the numbers and for what purpose. Monitoring the usage of assigned numbers is an important and central input factor for numbering plan organization. It enables the number administrator to recognize problems with capacity bottlenecks in good time and to take the appropriate measures. Need-oriented assignment requires a certain degree of surveillance on the usage of assigned numbers.

If single numbers are assigned centrally, the number administrator has a detailed overview of the usage of the number range. When blocks are assigned, the number administrator needs information on the utilization of the blocks from the network operators and shall have the right to demand it.


5.3 Numbering Conventions

The Numbering Conventions provide a Regulatory Policy Framework for the management of the plan and are a set of rules and guiding principles relating to the use and management of the prescribed numbering plan.

User's Guide to Numbering

The Numbering Conventions in this Regulation provide an initial Regulatory Policy Framework that have been developed broadly on the basis of the harmonized numbering conventions formulated by the European Commission. Because of the dynamic and rapid pace of change in the telecommunications industry, tomorrow's needs and requirements may not be apparent today. Future Numbering Conventions must support effective competition by ensuring that access to numbering resources is even handed for all customers. Developments in the global arena and numbering policy in SADC states in Southern Africa may also need to be accommodated. To facilitate future changes to Numbering Conventions in a logical and user-friendly manner for the public, the Authority may develop and document a "User's Guide to Numbering". The first dated version of the "User's Guide to Numbering" document, that could adopt the Numbering Conventions in this Regulation and any changes that become necessary, may be published by the Authority within two years from the date of the promulgation of this Regulation.

Fixed-Mobile Converrence

The activities of fixed telephony networks (PSTN) and mobile cellular telephony networks (PLMN and GMPCS global networks) currently occupy two different markets. Moreover, in South Africa, they are subject to different legal conditions, because the licences for the two categories of operator do not contain the same requirements. This distinction is tending to blur under the combined effects of operators commercial strategies and technological progress. Operators are now bringing fixed and mobile telephony offerings closer together, or even bundling them. This fixed-mobile convergence trend has a bearing on competition and the legal framework to be applied.

In this regulation, the Numbering Conventions for both fixed and mobile cellular telephony networks have been consolidated where practicable in an attempt to effect parity across all networks. Furthermore, numbering capacity for new services are currently not available in the code ranges ' 1 1 ' to ' 19'as listed in SCHEDULE 1. In due course the Authority intends to make these code ranges available to both fixed and mobile networks.

Number Pooling

Number pooling is a mechanism used by many numbering administrations to increase the efficiency of number allocation to end users in a multi-carrier competitive environment. Pooled numbers essentially become a common or shared resource available to multiple carriers rather than blocks of numbers dedicated to a single carrier.

In the context of geographic numbers, number pooling means the sharing of ABC codes among multiple operators, service providers or carriers serving the same exchange area. All ten thousand


numbers within each ABC code continue to be associated with the same exchange area designation, but can be distributed among multiple service providers or carriers, typically at the thousand block (ABC-X) level.

Telephone numbering caFacity is currently allocated in blocks of numbers to network operators. For certain types of numbers, including freephone numbers, local rate and premium rate numbers, the Authority may move away from this system in due course (pending sectorpolicy issues regarding a multi-carrier competitive environment in South Africa) to one where numbers are allocated directly to the user by a central administration body. This means that, instead of approaching an operator or camer for the number, the customer may obtain it from the central administration body. The customer would then approach the network operator of their choice in order to have service provided on that number.

PARTA

RULES GOVERNING THE MANAGEMENT OF THE PRESCRIBED NUMBERING PLAN

. . . ~ , . , .- , " ^ _1 , ,, . . . , , A1 GUIDING PRINCIPLES

Al . l General (1) The Prescribed Numbering Plan ("The Plan") is a national resource and the design, adoption and

management of the Plan affects the national interest. (2) The Authority is responsible for managing the Plan and makes allocations and reservations of

numbering capacity from the Plan to licensed operators who sub-allocate individual numbers to service providers and end users. Sub-allocated capacity remains part of the national resource managed by the Authority.

(3) The following principles set out below (not necessarily in order of importance) may be taken into account in the management of the Plan.

,.",. " , , . . . ,. L .~ . 1 " .- I

A1.2 Flexibilitv to meet future needs (1) Numbering arrangements must be able to meet anticipated growth in demand for

telecommunications services and cope with the rapidly changing telecommunications market place, to meet demand of new and as yet unknown services as well as a contingency for the growth of existing services.

(2) The Plan should be organized and managed in a way that allows for good husbandry of the supply of numbers and provides reasonable capacity to be kept as a reserve for new services and future expansion of the Plan, with some entire ranges kept free for future uses.

areas of number shortage.

new market and technological developments. They should, if and where possible and in accordance with the rules of the Plan, allow customers to move up the value chain from basic voice telephony to higher levels of service without needing a number change.

(3) The good husbandry of numbers should be encouraged and capacity conserved, particularly in

(4) Numbering arrangements should result in efficient utilization of numbering space and facilitate

A1.3 Pro-competition (1) Numbering arrangements should support effective competition.


(2) Companies with rights to numbering resource should receive fair and equal treatment with respect

(3) There should be no branding of numbers by operators as it impedes competition and can lead to to access to numbers and allocation policy.

customer confusion.

A1.4 Cost effectiveness (1) Developments to, and management of, the Plan should take into account costs and inconvenience

to customers, operators and service providers. These should fall within reasonable bounds and change should be justified. They must also be technically feasible and reasonably practical to implement.

(2) The Plan should be reasonably easy to manage and administer.

Al.5 Customer needs (1) The organization and management of the Plan should ensure that there are sufficient numbers to

meet customers' needs. (2) The numbering arrangements should ensure, as far as possible, that numbers of different types give

a broad indication of service/price. They should also take account of the need to associate particular tariffs with the first few digits of the called numbers to convey meaningful information to callers and to facilitate routing of calls by networks and customer premises equipment. However, the current tariff structure should not unduly constrain decisions or the evolution of the telecommunications market.

inconvenience for customers. (3) Any changes to the Plan should be managed in a way that causes minimum disruption, cost and

A1.6 International developments (1) The Plan should take account of international developments and agreements and where appropriate

be compatible with relevant international agreements, standards and recommendations.

A1.7 Consultation (1) Proposals to change the Plan should be subject to a process of consultation including

representation from customers, service providers, suppliers and operators.

A2 APPLICATION CRITERIA . . " . " ..

I ,

A4.2 Consultation on applications (1) Additionally and in the exceptional circumstances described below, the Authority may choose to

consult on the relevant details of an application for numbering capacity (or an application either for expansion of an existing allocation or for a change of use of an existing allocation). Such consultation may be, at the Authority's discretion and following discussion with the operator, either with interested parties or with its advisory committee (NAC).

Such consultation may normally take place in dealing with a complex application, or in the case where, in the Authority's judgement, the allocation of numbering capacity while consistent with the structure of the Plan and with the Conventions would be unusual or might set a precedent in such a way that the views of interested parties should be sought.

Such consultation may normally commence within 30 days of receipt of the application.

(4) Where the Authority judges that consultation on any or all of the detail of an application may compromise the commercial details of the applicant organization, the Authority may take into account the views of the applicant on those details on which consultation should take place.

( 5 ) Where such a consultation has commenced, any comments on the application shall be sent to the Authority within 30 days of the date of publication, or any other period notified at the time of


consultation. The Authority may consider the responses and advise the applicant and respondents of its decision within a maximum period of 28 days from the end of the consultation period.

A4.3 Timescale for handling auulications for numbering capacity (1) The Authority shall use all reasonable endeavours to make an allocation in accordance with the

Conventions in response to applications for numbering capacity within a maximum period of 28 days from receipt of the application containing all the information required by CONVENTION A3.1.

This period may generally not exceed 90 days from receipt of the application containing all the information required by CONVENTION A3.1. The procedure set out in Convention A4.13 may apply to the extension of time periods.

A4.10 Refusal of applications for numbering capacity (1) The Authority may refuse an application for an allocation of numbering capacity, or may not grant

the application in full, or may attach specific conditions to the allocation which are consistent with the Conventions and relate to the use and management of the numbering capacity allocated, having considered the application as set out in CONVENTION 3.1 and having taken into account the criteria for eligibility (defined in CONVENTION A2).

(2) When the Authority refuses an application for numbering capacity, or does not grant the application in full, or attaches specific conditions to the allocation then the Authority shall inform the applicant, in writing, of the reasons for the above.

(3) The Authority may, following consultation with the applicant, make an alternative allocation that has the potential to satisfy the applicant's requirements without conflicting with the criteria which caused the application to be. refused.

(4) Where the Authority refuses an application for numbering capacity, or does not grant the application in full, or attaches specific conditions to the allocation (on allocation or subsequently), the applicant may write to the Authority disputing the reasons given by the Authority for its decision or giving further information for consideration regarding the application. The Authority may consider the request and respond to the applicant within 28 days.

A5.3 Dealing with complex amlication (1) In deciding whether to allocate numbers to an applicant making a complex application, the

Authority may consider any recommendation of its advisory committee, set up explicitly for this purpose.

A5.4 Numbers of broad geographic significance (1) Numbers of broad geographic significance must be allocated only:

arrangements across multiple geographically dispersed sites; or

for geographic numbers.

(a) to meet the needs of customers who wish to make or keep common internal numbering

(b) to improve numbering efficiency for service providers or customers with limited requirements

Note: For paragraph (l)(a), the Authority may allocate a customer a series of contiguous blocks of numbers of broad geographic significance, each block being made available for use exclusively within a single standard charging zone unit.

A55 Incoming, only international numbers (1) The Authority may allocate an incoming only international number only if:

(a) the Authority has evidence of an agreement between the applicant and at least one (1) foreign

(b) the agreement must be for international interconnection between a foreign public telecommunications operator, and

telecommunications network and the applicant’s network that would allow routing of incoming only international calls.

A5.6 Conditional allocation (1) The Authority may allocate a number subject to conditions about the use of the number. (2) Before imposing a condition, the Authority may consult with an advisory committee. (3) Before allocating a number to any person, subject to conditions, the Authority must inform the

A6.1 Reservation of numbering allocations (1) As well as making allocations of numbering capacity, the Authority may also have the ability to

make reservations of numbering capacity. Reservations are intended to be used where: (a) the applicant does not want to be identified; or (b) the reason for the application should not be divulged prior to application for allocation; or (c) a customer order has not been finalised; or (d) a route for migrating numbers from another block or code needs to be identified.

(2) A reservation may be made: (a) in anticipation of an application being made for numbering capacity in accordance with a

three-year rolling forecast provided by licensees entitled to apply for allocation; or (b) against a specific request submitted by any organization eligible to receive allocations (for

example for the expansion or growth of existing services or for the introduction of new services).

(3) An application for a reservation should be made to the Numbering Unit at the Authority. The applicant shall provide to the Authority the information listed in CONVENTION A3 as appropriate.

(4) Applications for the reservation of numbering capacity shall be treated in confidence by the Authority, where the applicant requests this, and may be subject to the same formal consultation procedure detailed in paragraph A4.2 where commercial confidentiality permits.

( 5 ) In evaluating applications for the reservation of numbering capacity, the Authority may take into account: (a) the Guiding Principles in CONVENTION Al; (b) the provisions of relevant licence conditions; (c) the views of the applicant and other interested parties; and (d) any other matters the Authority regards as relevant.

I (6) A reservation does not entitle operators to activate the capacity. Where numbering capacity is reserved, this does not guarantee that a corresponding allocation may subsequently be made. A subsequent request for allocation for the capacity may be considered by the Authority on the basis of the criteria set out under CONVENTION A3.

32 No. 22352 GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 8 J U N E 2001

(7) The time period for the Authority to respond to an application for a reservation shall be the same as for responding to an application for an allocation (A4.3).

(S) Reservations may be time-limited. Unless a longer reservation is needed for the effective management of the Plan, the limit for reservations for geographic number ranges may in most cases be three months; for other ranges the period may in most cases be nine months. Reservations may be renewable on request to the Authority.

(9) Once a reservation has been made then that numbering capacity is unavailable for allocation except for the purpose and/or to the organization for whom the reservation was made. However, the reservation may be cancelled or changed by the Authority if: (a) the time-limit has expired; (b) the applicant withdraws the reservation; or (c) the Authority and the applicant agree a substitution (d) taking into account A6.5 above.

A14 REVIEW PROCEDURE

(1) The Authority may initiate a review of its provisions not later than two years after the adoption of the Conventions (including revisions). Thereafter the Authority may undertake reviews from time to time as appropriate. Requests to undertake a review may be submitted at any time by any operator, service provider, user or other, and these requests must be considered by the Authority.

(2) The Authority may from time to time amend or withdraw a Convention already published or publish additional Conventions, after consultation with interested parties. The Authority may consult with an advisory committee, for example the NAC, on an ad hoc basis or convened expressly for this purpose. The Authority may afford a reasonable period, not being less than 28 days, for them to make representations. The Authority may give reasonable notice, not being less than three months, to operators to comply with any such amendment or withdrawal of a Convention.

(3) In deciding the details of and any subsequent change to Conventions, the Authority may have regard to: (a) the Guiding Principles in CONVENTION A1 ; (b) the provisions of relevant licence conditions; (c) the views of the applicant and other interested parties; and (d) any other matters that the Authority regards as relevant.

(4) Requests for amendments to Conventions and for new Conventions may be made at any time to the Authority.

A15 STANDAFU%^' -"". "--'~

(1) To the maximum practical extent, the prescribed Numbering Plan ("the Plan") shall conform with theielevant and applicable international standards. Particular attention is drawn to the following Recommendations of the ITU:

Telephony (ISDN) numbering plans - E. 16 1, Arrangements of figures, letters and symbols on telephones and other devices that can

%,,.. ,,. -.. .. ..--ns ~ ~ , ,. . .. . ̂ &. :. .

be used for gaining access to a telephone network

- E. 164, Numbering plans for the ISDN Era

- E. 166, Numbering plan interworking for the E. 164 and X. 12 1 numbering plans

- E. 167, ISDN network identification codes

- E. 168, Application of E. 164 numbering plan for UPT

- E. 169, Numbering plan for UIFN service

- E.212, Identification plan for land mobile stations


- E.213, Telephone and ISDN Numbering plan for land mobile stations in public land mobile networks (PLMN)

Data numbering plans - X. 12 1 , International numbering plan for public data networks (DNIC)

- X.122, same text as E.166

Telex numbering plans - F.69, The international telex service - Service and operational provisions of telex destination

codes and telex network identification codes (TNIC)

(2) The country code allocated by the ITU-T to South Afnca is 27. This code follows the international dialling prefix on calls made from outside South Africa, and should be followed by the national significant number of South Afncan destination excluding the national dialling prefix “0”.

(3) Particular attention is drawn to E.164 which states that the maximum number of digits that a national system is expected to handle on an outgoing international call is currently 15 (excluding the international dialling prefix).

(4) The Plan shall use the decimal character set 0-9 for all number allocations. Letters and other non- decimal characters shall not be allocated to form any part of the national significant number.

(5) The prefix “0” followed by the nine digits of a national significant number shall be used for all South African national calls and for locally dialled calls after the introduction of a closed numbering plan as contemplated in SECTIONS 1.2 and 4.3.1 of this Regulation.

(6) The prefix “OO”, following the migration from code ”09”, shall be used for international dialling. The prefix “00” shall be followed by the digits of the country code and the national significant number.

(7) Considerable benefit can be obtained from consistent forms of number presentation. For the Plan, the Authority recommends a “three-three-four” number format for all ten-digit numbers, for example:

fa) Geomaphic number format (012) 345 6789 012 345 6789

Ib) Non-Peoaaphic format 080345 6789 0823456789


(1) The national significant number shall be normally nine digits, notated by the alphabetical sequence "NNABCXXXX", for example '123456789' represents a geographic number in the Pretoria area.

(2) The structure of the Plan is as follows (with the trunk digit "0" and initial (N) digit identifying the range):

(a) "00" Designated for the international dialling prefix, used to escape from national to international dialling.

(b) "01" to "05" The Geographic Numbering Range, digits 1'-5 indicating the five primary numbering areas in South Afiica.

(c) "06" Reserved for PSTN growth.

(d) "07" Designated for mobile cellular service growth.

(e) "08" Designated for mobile cellular, paging, GMPCS and Telkom Inbound Call Services.

(f) "09" Reserved for PSTN growth.

A17 GEOGRAPHIC NUMBERING RANGES

(see SCHEDULE 2 and SCHEDULE 3)

(1) In the Plan the "01" to "05" ranges have been designated for Geographic Numbering; and the "06" and "09" ranges shall be kept in reserve for potential hture geographic use.

(2) In the Plan, local and broad geographic significance shall be used to the maximum practical extent. In particular, local geographic significance shall be preserved in the multi-exchange areas (MEA) listed in SCHEDULE 3.

(3) The Authority may monitor the supply and demand for numbering capacity within the codes of the area numbering range and make proposals for overcoming any shortages that may be foreseen.

(4) In deciding how ' O N N ' codes should be used in any particular situation, the Authority may consult with an advisory committee, for example the NAC, on an ad hoc basis or convened expressly for this purpose, and may take into account the following factors: (a) areas likely to be affected by nuni'ber shortages; (b) anticipated growth in demand for numbers; (c) demographic and business trends; (d) tariff and other market developments; (e) the existence of "communities of interest"; (f) the need for efficient utilization of numbering resources; and (8) any representations received on behalf of local communities.


PART 3

PUBLIC SWITCHED TELEPHONE NETWORKS

(1) Where practicable, numbers shall be used at all times in the most economical manner possible.

(2) For numbers mentioned in SCHEDULE 3, a practical utilization level of 75% shall be required for existing number blocks that are not pooled numbers, prior to any subsequent allocation of additional number blocks. The degree of usage shall be calculated as follows:

total quantity of numbers used by customers within a locil geographic precinct

(area of local geographic significance)

degree of usage = - x loo

total quantity of numbers issued in the same geographic area

(1) The units in which number blocks that are not pooled numbers may be allocated to operators are:

I Geographic numbers For numbers mentioned in SCHEDULE 3- a block of 1,000 numbers

For numbers mentioned in SCHEDULE 3-a block of 10,000 numbers

~

Access codes Individually

,Nan-geographic a block of 10,000 numbers services numbers of 10 digits

Non-geographic Individually services numbers not of 10 digits

(2) If a unit size has not been mentioned in SUBSECTION (1) for the allocation of a type of number, the Authority may determine, in writing: (a) a unit size for the number; or


(b) a unit size that is appropriate for the number in circumstances mentioned in the determination.

(3) A unit size determined under SUBSECTION (2) for a number must be consistent with the number analysis capabilities of telecommunications networks operated in South Africa.

(4) Assignment of an amount of numbers greater than the unit size Assignment greater than the unit size shall be justified by market need or other special factors.

(1) Numbers assigned to access codes and non-geographic services shall be in service within a reasonable time after assignment.

(1) The Authority may assign an initial supply of numbers to Other Licensed Operators (OLO). This may be on the basis of the normal predicted growth of new customers for a period of two years from the commencement date of the Licence. Thereafter numbers may be assigned to OLOs in accordance with the Numbering Conventions of SECTION 5.3.


PART C

PUBLIC LAND MOBILE NETWORKS

(1) Each network operator has been assigned an initial supply of 10 million numbers, viz. '082', '083' and '084' ranges. The assignment of additional ranges shall be linked in subsequent applications to evidence of the degree of utilization of the numbers already assigned and the market need for further assignment.

(2) The '0721 ' and '0722' ranges have been allocated to Vodacom and '073 1' and '0732' ranges to MTN subject to the proviso that numbers are for exclusive use with Pre-Paid customers.

C2 NUMBERING EFFICIENCY

(1) The assignment of a number must, if practicable, lead to the efficient use of the number.

(2) The assignment of short codes, other than to emergency services and for internal network purposes, shall be restricted to less than ten percent (10%) of the total quantity of numbers issued by primary assignment. To facilitate numbering efficiency, the Authority recommends that operators restrict short codes to a single range within the allocated numbering space, viz. The '0821 ', '083 1 ' and '0841 ' ranges.

( 3 ) Level Of Utilization

(a) The level of utilization is computed by the formula-

(b) Any level of utilization greater than seventy-five percent (75%) should be regarded as reasonable justification of the need for an additional number range, although this factor should not be regarded on its own as an automatic trigger for the additional assignment.

(4) Factors to be considered by the Authority (a) In any application for an additional number range the Authority shall consider:

r


Projected customer demand for numbers. In particular, demand projections over the next 12 to 18 months should be taken into account together with any seasonal patterns a of demand that argue for assignment of a quantity greater than the unit size.

Level of utilization as contemplated in CONVENTION C2(3)

Reasonable inventory of numbers in secondary and tertiary stages of management. This takes account of an applicants’ need to maintain a reasonable inventory of numbers in order to meet fluctuations in customer demand, and the market structure for the particular service. The more vertical levels there are in the management process before a number is issued to an end user, for example operator -to- service provider -to- dealer -to- customer, the more inventories of numbers that may be needed and the greater may be the need for numbers by the applicant. The number of vertical levels in the numbering assignment process should be kept to a minimum and the direct assignment to end-users should be encouraged.

I

International trends and benchmarks.

Convergence of fixed and mobile networks.

Other special factors. Initially, mobile cellular operators have been forced to continue to utilize their 08x ranges for the implementation of special services and short codes. Until a common range of numbers is accessible to all operators (for example ‘ 1 1 X’ to ‘ 19X’ ranges), it may be extremely difficult for the mobile cellular operators to obtain high utilization efficiency of the affected number sub-ranges, which are utilized to support special services and short codes.

( 5 ) Withholding, Assignment of Additional Numbers (a) The Authority may reserve the right to withhold the assignment of additional numbers if the

utilization rate for numbers held by primary assignment is less than the specified threshold specified in convention C2(3).

C3 UNIT SIZE

(1) The unit size for the primary assignment of numbers is one (1) million numbers.

[2) Assignment of an amount of numbers greater than the unit size Assignment greater than the unit size shall be justified by market need or other special factors.

(1) Numbers assigned to mobile services shall be in service within a reasonable time after assignment.
